Abstract
Abstract An automatically removable filter is positioned in front of a cathode ray screen, when illuminated, and is comprised by a sheet of textile material woven with micromeshes. An automatic roller is secured to the television set, and the filter is guided and held and secured by its end or by its side. The automatic roller containing the filter is fixed to the television set by its upper or lower part or sides, so that the filter, once it is unrolled, is positioned very closely in front of the screen.

Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the guiding and holding means of the filter (1) are horizontal bars (11) and vertical bars (9) allowing adjusting and guiding the filter (1) with respect to the screen (4).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the securement means (7A, 7B, 30) for the filter (1) by its end (6) are quick coupling means (7A, 7V); hook-and-eye pads (7A) are attached to the television set (3), while an end (6) of the filter (1) comprises hook-and-eye pads (7B) facing the pads (7A) and corresponding thereto.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that it can comprise lateral coupling means (8) which are quick coupling means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
98 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that it comprises guiding means (9, 11), such as horizontal bars (11) and vertical bars (9) allowing adjusting and guiding the position of the filter (1) with respect to the screen (4); the horizontal bars (11) are fitted in blocks (12) provided for this purpose which are joined to an integral part of the roller (2) or independent therefrom, these horizontal bars (11) can be inserted, to a greater or lesser extent, in the blocks (12); once these bars (11) are adjusted, their length can be fixed by blocking screws (13).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the vertical bars (9) can be joined together by means of horizontal bars (10,14) which ensure a good positioning of the filter (1).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the bars (9) can be curved so as to match better the shape of the screen (4).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
206 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that a rapid self-attaching coupling means (15) is disposed on top of the television set (3), opposite thereto a block (16) is also fixed by a quick coupling means (17), this block (16) comprising a recess (18) for the end (25) of the support bar (19); this support bar (19) can slide within the recess (18) so as to be able to adjust the distance between the filter and the screen (4), a stopping element (20) and a blocking screw (21) can hold and block the support bar (19); a block (23) similar to the block (16) can be fixed to the other end (22) of the support bar (19); it is possible to use, instead of the stopping element, an end (26) of the automatic roller (2), said end (26) being held in position by a blocking screw (24); a vertical bar (27) is fixed on the block (23), said bar (27) allowing guiding the filter (1) and keeping it well stretched in front of the screen (4) of the television set (3), this vertical bar (27) can be inserted in a hole (30) of the horizontal rod (28) disposed in the edge (29) of the filter (1).
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
154 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that when the filter (1) is unrolled, it hangs vertically in front of the screen (4) of the television set (3), and is stretched by a sufficient weight of the bar (28) in the edge (29) at a suitable distance from the screen (4) by positioning the roller (2) on the support bars (19) provided with flanges (33) fitted in a suitable cavity (34) in the end (26), the support bars (19) being joined or not joined to the block (16) fixed to the television set (3) by means of quick coupling means (17, 15) one of which is attached to the television set (3), the other to the block (16), the height of the unrolled portion of the filter (1) being controlled by the stopping caused by a ratchet wheel (31) and its blocking lever (32) against the action of the spring of the roller (2).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
170 words
Device for positioning a filter serving as a grate or screen mounted on an automatic roller to be disposed in front of a cathode ray screen according to claim 1, characterized in that the device is comprised by two L-shaped elements (35 and 36); the horizontal leg (36) of the L comprises a clamping means (37) for clamping on the apparatus (45); this means can be quick coupling means (37) contacting a quick coupling means attached to said apparatus (45); the vertical leg (35) of the L abutting the horizontal leg (36) of the L has an opening (38) which allows inserting one of the flanges (39) of the automatic roller (40) corresponding to this shape of the opening (38), the flange (39) of the automatic roller (40) can slide along the entire length of the vertical leg of the L within a groove (41) provided for this purpose; along this groove, on the external part thereof, there is a scale (42) in centimeters on each face of one side.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
